Back Me Up - Dining

2016 - Words by Roos Smit - ’Back me up’ is all about providing support, and that is exactly what this chair does. The carefully crafted comfort serves to support the user, while the organic back offers a warm welcome and a gentle bounce. Exactly where needed, the seat and back allow a surprising amount of comfort, without sacrificing the crisp edges in the fabric. Brekveld: “The name refers to the back of the chair—the side that is most visible in everyday life. I’ve tried to make this stand out by pushing it up by a few centimetres. This subtly exposes the seat, revealing a controlled play of lines in which the legs come out elegantly. A graphic effect that is reinforced by the combination of fabrics.”
